The Ohio State Journal announces that ‘•the American party has finallv repudiated all newspaper organs, and the order relies on its internal power for t he promulgation and support of its principles.” The Jour nal, a reliable whig and i cee-soi! organ, and experimentally acquainted with the tenden cy and objects of secret order in the free States, hold? the following language: “ We choose to be thus particular on this subject for certain well understood local reasons. So far, in this State and in the tree States generally, the !know-nothings’ have co-operated and worked faithfully with theanti-Nebraska and anti-slavery feeling of the people. They have shown themselves true republicans by casting their rveiglif uni formly in favor of freedom-. If they are warred upon and driven off on an abstrac tion, the inquiry will be made why it is done. And if, on investigation, it shall be found to be for a reason less satisfactory than a want of sympathy with the opponents of slavery propagandism, the authors of the mischief will be held to a rigid and fearful accountability.” The Richmond Enquirer, commenting on the above, says: “The Journal here reiterates and confirms what we have demonstrated by documentary evidence, that ‘in tho free States generally the know-nothings have co-operated and worked faithfully with the anti-Nebraska and anti-slavery feeling of the people.’ And yet Virginians are, with the coolest assurance, invited to enter the dark conclaves of the secret order, and to bind themselves by se cret oaths to a thorough affiliation with their worst enemies in the free States!— Could there be a more monstrous attempt to impose on the public mind, and to in veigle a high-minded and sagacious people into an alliance with what threatens a vio lation of the most blessed principles of the constitution, and a deadly blow at soutbern institutions?

Jan. 22. Can’t do without a Paper. What, do without a paper? no. I’ve tried it to my sorrow, So, to subscribe for one I’ll go, Nor wait until to-morrow. Should lovers drown or hang themselves, Pr other foolish caper, 1 never get to hear of it, I do not take the paper. Why, there’s my neighbor, Jothain Stout, He always hears the news, And having news to talk about Hc never gets the blues. While otheis yawn in ennui, Ilis mind is light as vapor ; The cause is plain to half an eye. He always takes the paper. While neighbor Stout hears all the news, And knows each current price, And alway's minds his P’s and Q’s. By taking good advice. I cannot tell the price of calves. Or poultry, coffee, tape, or Any kind of merchandize, Because I take no paper. Though I have studies which require Much time and mental labor. Yet I can spare a little time, As well as Stout, my neighbor. Though time be precious, I cun use A longer midnight taper, And thus take time to read the news— Therefore I'll take a paper. But uow which one shall I select. So many greet my vision ; One stubborn fact which I detect Shall influence my decision. The cheapest paper and tho best.

Jones, Augusta, Ga., at $1 per annum in advance. Tue Succession.—The Dahlonega Signal of Saturday says that the Augusta Consti tutionalist doubts the propriety of the re- nomination of Gov. -Johnson, and quotes, as it supposes, the words of our Augusta co- tempoTary to show the reason for the faith. The Signal cordially endorses the opinions it innocently attributes to the editor of tbe Constitutionalist, and thinks it would be de cidedly bad policy for the party to bring the present incumbent on the track for a second race. Now, we believe that the Constitu tionalist has thus far expressad no opinions, either in favor of or against the re-nomination of Gov. Johnson, and as our Augusta co temporary maj' feel some delicacy in father ing the objections raised by the Intelligencer against the re-nomiuation of the present in cumbent, we will readily relieve him from the responsibility, and assure our friends of the Signal that it was the Intelligencer’s lan guage they were quoting and endorsing in stead of the position of the editor of the Constitutional ist. Destruction of the British Army.— The awful condition of the British army in the Crimea, and the prodigious waste of life, chiefly through the incompetency <>f the officers, a determination of everybody to shift responsibilities, and the now glaring defects of the British war system, are viv idly shown in the following figures, which are, beyond doubt, correct: Of more than sixty thousand weu sent to the East since February last, not more than 17,000 are new fit for duty; and of these some 60 or 80 die daily, and about 200 or 150 are every day disabled by sickness, while of those that fall sick hardly any re cover. And out of the 43,000 dead or sick, not 7,000 have been disabled by the direct action of the enemy. jgjayTt is said that Capt. Ringgold, late in command of the North Pacific Explor ing Expedition, is complaining bitterly that Commodore Perry sent him home as an invalid, because of his tempoary aber ration of mind, resulting/rom severe illness while in the China Seas. It is said that Mayor Wood, of New York, is in receipt of sundry anonymous letters, threatening personal violence, if he persists in carrying certain measures against the gambling houses and places of prostitu tion. Thirty of these latter have already . been indicted, and some others are marked j out. Threats of personal violence do not deter a man like Mr. Wood from doing his f duty. jp.Fanny Fern Daguebkeotyfsd.—She is toll forty, is Fanny.

The Treaty was brought here by Senator Benjamin. It is actually in the State De partment. The Treaty provides, 1st. That the United States shall loan to the government of Ecu ador the sum of three millions of dollars, without interest. 2d. That the United States should retain a lien on the islands as security for the loan. 3d. That the United States vessels shall have the right to carry off the guano from the islands, at a very moderate rate of du ty-” Railroad Stock Down.—The Rutland and Burligtou Railroad was sold on Monday at Bellows Fall, Vt., for one mill per share. This was the first and only bid. Its capital stock, all honestly subscribed for, was two millions two hundred thousand dollars.— This stock, sold by the sheriff under attach ment, brought twenty-two dollars.

A returned Californian relates the fol lowing good one: The landlord of a hotel, built of boards, and located near the Tekulk Diggings, was presented by his wife with a fine twelve pound boy, which coming to the ears of a wag, he circulated the story that the host had found a “twelve pound chunk.” which Haynes.at Galveston, at 2 p. m ran like wildfire through the place, and ! day last, caused quite an excitement. A few weeks afterwards, a miner from another quarter, having heard of the twelve pound chunk, arrived at the hotel, and at once made ap plication to the landlady for lodging. Her husband being absent she attended to the guest, when the following conversation took place, which should be prefaced by the re mark that the story had exploded several days before his arrival, and. the landlady had enjoyed the sell with the rest. “ It was your husband, ma’am, wasn’t it, who got the twelve pound chunk?” “ He had some help, I believe,” replied Pacific’s News In Sew York. The New York Herald, of Friday, says: The Pacific’s news had a favorable effect yesterday upon the cotton market. The sales embrace 4,000 bales, in transitu, and some luss on the spot, the market closing at one-quarter cent per lb. advance. There was some Mobile middling on the market, but held above the views of buyers. There was no New Orleans middling on tbe mark et. We quote middling uplands at 8|@8fc —Florida and Mobile do at 9c., and New Orleans and Texas at 9}c. Flour and grain were dull, and provisions quite steady.

Unless the doings of the caucus are unani- mons, they had better not be published, as they would rather weaken the cause in whose behalf it assembled than serve to strengthen it. Ex-Governor Bigler from Pennsylvania is in town and appeared yesterday on the floor of the Senate. All things considered, he looks remarkably well. The first part of- Col. Kinney’s expedition to Greytown will sail from Baltimore in the course of a few days. Public expectation has been raised to so high a pitch in regard to this great enterprise of the modern Jason and his Argonauts, that further delay would be dangerous to the prestige of success. The French spoliation claims were fur ther debated in five minute speeches, and various amendments proposed and voted down. The Senate substitute was adopted for tbe original House bill, and is now in a fair way of being reported to the House without material amendments. There may not be had a vote to-day ; but the bill will pass. It is not likely that there will be an elec tion of U. S. Senator in Indiana. Both the democrats and the fusionists are in favor of a postponement, and both are sanguine of success two years hence. As regards the volunteer bill, it is re marked that while volunteers are doubtless, the best men to serve in an actual Indian war, they are certainly the most likely to provoke hostilities if they do not already exist. General Rusk’s suggestion to ap point Indian agents who understand the Indian character, instead of mere politi cians, is probably the most practical of any lately made on the subject. X Bulwer in Parliament.—The Liverpoo Journal gives an interesting account of th great debate in Parliament on the;queation oo enlisting foreigners in the English servicef points is accepted, yet not without important .. , 11 1 reserve; that in fine Russia is ready to hn- las made much pro- ; mjliate herself in the full view of a certain and glorious victery. It is difficult to see how, on such authority, any one can indulge the hope that peace is at hand. It appears indeed, from the leading editorials of Lon don and Paris journals, as well as from a voluminous foreign correspondence, that the artful diplomatic snares has caught but few in its tangled web. The essence of the four conditions laid down in the Vienna note, of the 8th of Au- gust, may be stated as follows : 1. The relinquishment by the Emperor of Russia of the exclusive protectorate of the Principalities. 2. The establishment of the free naviga tion of the Danube. ° 3. The revision of the treaty of the 13th July, 1841. 4. The relinquishment by Russia of her claims to protect the Sultan's subjects who profess the Greek faith. Other conditions more humiliating still have, from time to time, during the negoti. ations, been submitted, such as the razing of Russian fortresses in the Crimea, the reduc tion of her fleet in the Black Sea, and an indemnification for the expenses of the war. At the recent conference at Vienna, howev er, it is believed that these have not been urged by the Western Powers. The four points alone were insisted upon as the con ditions of peace. Hence their precise inter pretation, as given by the protocol of the 28th December, became important. Of the sense and bearing of the first and fourth there could be no question. They are plain and explicit, requiring no interpreta tion. As regards the second, the free nav igation of the Danube was to be established according to the principles of the Congress of Vienna, as interpreted by a mixed com mission appointed by the five Courts, the powers and duties of which could be arrang ed in the course of thc negotiations. As regards the third, requiring the revision of the treaty of 1841, which closed the Black _ _ Sea, except against the naval forces of Rus- Speaking of Sir Eeward Lytton Bulwer, the j b j a an d Turkey, the protocol claimed that. Journal says : He succeeded, for the first time,' in his parliamentary history. This was princi pally owing to his being re-individualized and put in a party position, to move a party amendment; that gives weight and signi ficance to a man’s thoughts, and to his words. Then the speech itself was thor oughly good—statesmanlike and logical, while full of point to please au assembly the balance of Europe had been disturbed, not only by that treaty, but also by many former treaties. All these must be annulled. The Black Sea must be free and the strength of tbe naval and military establishments of Russia therein must be definitively settled. And such are the conditions, and such the interpretation which we are gravely tolu Russia has accepted in the full tide of war and in the flush of victory.

The impression for the first five minutes of his oratory is awful: you see members dusting their faces with their handkerchiefs, screwing their persons to their benches, and keeping their eyes off the door that looks so tempting an escape li-om the tremendous baronet. But genius asserts itself; and one forgets the tremendous baronet in the man whose very grotesqueness but proves his grand originality; and, forgetting the manner in the matter—when it is good, as on Tuesday—the house cheers. Sir Edward sat down, on that night, with a parliamen tary success; having achieved that, he is celebrated for his pertinacity, which lie has been twenty years striving for; and, as I watched him passing along thc lobby to din ner, amid unreserved congratulations, I came to the conclusion that was the hap piest moment of a career, which, though leafy with laurels, has perhaps been a very melancholy life. Tlie Removal. in a former issue of onr paper, we came cut openly for the removal of the State House to the growing and flourishing city of Atlanta. We then thought, and still think, it would be to the interest of the State to have the Capitol permanently lo cated at Atlanta. We know that it is urg ed, it would be acting in bad faith towards the citizens of Milledgeville; that they have invested their capital in property there under the pledge of the State that no effort would be made to remove the State House to any other point. Now, we earnestly con tend, that no administration, party or clique had the right to make any such agreement; and that if the people shall now be of the opinion, that it would be best that a removal should be made they have the undoubted right to do so. We do not wish the citizens of Milledgeville injured in their property, nor do we desire to build up the interests of any other place—we go to protect the in terests of the whole people. If a removal should take place, no doubt some arrange ment would be made to save the citizens of Milledgeville harmless. Atlanta possesses many advantages over Milledgeville or Macon, and tbe people of Cherokee will go unanimously for the re moval to that place. We have no inclina tion at this early period to discuss at length the reasons which prompt us to favor the removal to Atlanta. We have sufficient reason to support us in our choice, and we will give them at the proper time. We feel confident that the people of Upper Georgia are wide awake upon the question.—Bepub- lican Union. number under unequal conditions in the Crimea—when a whole empire is rising, with one mind, to repel the insolent invad ers. No, tlie Allies, sorely pressed on evej rv side, have caught at a straw. Russia is amusing them with her old game of dip lomacy, at the same time she pours her le gions over the Danube. The Vienna letters and dispatches, the sources of all our intelligence on tho sub ject, represent the conference as the most amiable and agreeable kind. No doubt, no doubt. It is the nature of diplomacy to be gentle and mild. The Czar bad two im portant objects in view, besides that of ap pearing in the right,—to retain a hold upon the sympathies of Germany, and to gain time for his own, when retarding the mili tary movements of the Allies. It is well known that the expedition to the Crimea took Russia by surprise. The defence, though thus far successful, has not been conducted on that grand scale which distin guishes Russian enterprise. Her army was in the north or thc interior, and must tra verse vast stepes before reaching the point of attack. Besides, she is concentrating other forces, for what purpose none but her self can tell, on the frontiers of Poland and her eastern confines. All this requires time, to secure which nothing is better adapted than these agreeable conferences. Let the Allies be assured that Russia is no less their master in the cabinet than in the field, and that a battle may be won by the arts of dip lornacy as well as by force of arms. Congressional.

New Expedition lo Cuba. The steamer Massachusetts has been ar rested by the U. S. Marshall at New York, on suspicion of being fitted out for a filli- bustering expedition to the Island of Cuba. It appears that she cleared with an unsus picious manifest for New Orleans via Mo bile. It is said, however, that she had on board a cargo of common muskets and other ammunitions of war, which do not appear on the manifest; that she shipped 20,000 gallons of Croton water more than she or dinarily used ; that she had several tents, wagons, sets of harness, and about 50 sad dles ; that, in tine, she was fitted out and armed with hostile intentions against the Island of Cuba, and that she had shipped two sets of engineers, who had successively deserted her on ascertaining the nature of her cargo and her intended voyage. An other steamer, fitted out in like manner, and intended for a similar purpose, had also ar rested tlie attention of the Government.

Nevertheless, we liail this verdict as an important legal precedent, aud as an evidence ol a healthy state of public opinion.” The duel, it appears, was fought with knives : the parties were equal in physical power, and when one objected to tLe knife of the other, thc latter offered and actually did exchange knives, and with the weapon of his antagonist slew him.
